This is one versatile pedal. Why do I make this claim? Firstly, with the gain control at minimum you get a nice, slightly fatter clean boost. By the time you turn it to the 9 o'clock position smooth grit shows up. Between 9 and 11 or 12 o'clock is where most of the OD tones reside. I rarely go very far past high noon because my tone tastes tend to gravitate to overdrive sounds. Past 12 o'clock is distorto-world. I'm talking square waves here. This review was done with a Strat loaded with Texas Specials at around 6.5 K ohms. So humbuckers will push even further into distortion. Touch sensitivity is present throughout the first half of the gain control's travel. This unit also cleans up nicely by rolling the guitar's volume back. The circuit board is sturdy enough with through hole construction. This pedal would be easy to mod but I can't see why anyone would want to do that. I did try this thing out at 18 volts but didn't hear an appreciable difference. Bottom line: if you are looking for a box that will clean boost, OD and distort then buy this pedal. I don't care if you can afford the latest boutique gizmo out there. This OD stands on it's own. And it's NOT just another TS clone.Read full review

This sounds SOOO good going into the Joyo American Sound with the A.S. set on clean. Just unreal for the price. Wish these pedals were around 25 years ago.

What you would expect from Joyo. The ultimate drive is somewhat of a OCD clone. Not a perfect OCD clone but for the money you can't beat it.
